Yes,thank God,but I must say I was impressed by the [extrememetacticaldynamics ]vest,not only did it have a place for a badge,it also fitted over body armor,the only thing I question is its limitation on size 52.

With some minor modifications, it will fit my smallish FT-60, even leaving the display visible and the speaker/mic jack accessible.I would order one again.

That said, I would not order it again from gomed-tech.com. Not knowing this product at all (at least the sales person I spoke to on the phone) and not having one to check, they gave me false information on two accounts. After taking my order, they were quick to charge my card and then went to sleep, taking three days to order it from where it would be drop-shipped. That company then finally got their act together and got it on the slow boat, taking forever to get to UT from GA. But then, I only paid some $13 for shipping a 7 oz. item...Best way my a$$

A more direct source would be rescueTECH1.com where you can find it under the name of Mesh Radio Chest Harness.

Keep in mind that for organized RACES and ARES activations, you may be required to wear a distinctive organizational vest, which would make the chest pack inconvenient, worm either over or under the vest.Our group has a distinctive color coded vest (color code to agree with our client's organizational color coding) and we use the pockets built into the vest. I have a multi-pocket fisherman's vest (mentioned by an earlier poster) that I had purchased and used before we got the 'official' vests.Check with the organization you'll be supporting to see what is the recommended solution.
